Manga Shakespeare: Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare & Mustashirk Mahbab
Perhaps it is the nature of Comedy vs. Tragedy, but of the two Manga Shakespeare editions I’ve read so far, I liked A Midsummer Night’s Dream much better.

The Forgotten Legion by Ben Kane
About 200 pages into this 500+ page epic, I figured out that this most be book 1 of a series. The main characters had not even joined the army yet.

Poland by James Michener
In European History and Western Civilization classes, at least in the U.S., you pretty much study England, France, a little bit of Germany, some Italy, possibly some Russia, and maybe a bit of the Spanish and Vikings. I’m half Polish (on my Mom’s side), and have always been annoyed with this. So it was with great relish that I read Michener’s epic, Poland.
